Question:
Researchers at a large nutrition and weight management company are trying to build a model to predict a person’s body fat percentage from an array of variables such as body weight, height, and body measurements around the neck, chest, abdomen, hips, biceps, etc. A variable selection method is used to build a simple model. SPSS output for the final model is given below.

What is a 90% confidence interval for {eq}beta_1 {/eq}, the coefficient of weight, based on these results?
a. {eq}0.162 pm 4.230 {/eq}
b. {eq}0.162 pm 0.525 {/eq}
c. {eq}0.162 pm 0.064 {/eq}
d. {eq}0.162 pm 0.03 {/eq}
